As said by Linus:
A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.
In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.
In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.
The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.
Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.
The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'
followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

This patch fixes all the sparse warnings in the octeontx driver.
Some of these are just trivial type changes.
However, some of the changes are non-trivial on little-endian hosts.
Obviously the driver appears to be broken on either LE or BE as it
was doing different things. I've taken the BE behaviour as the
correct one.

Smatch reports that:
drivers/crypto/marvell/octeontx/otx_cptvf_algs.c:132 otx_cpt_aead_callback()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'cpt_info' (see line 121)
This function is called from process_pending_queue() as:
drivers/crypto/marvell/octeontx/otx_cptvf_reqmgr.c
599 /*
600 * Call callback after current pending entry has been
601 * processed, we don't do it if the callback pointer is
602 * invalid.
603 */
604 if (callback)
605 callback(res_code, areq, cpt_info);
It does appear to me that "cpt_info" can be NULL so this could lead to
a NULL dereference.

Message logged by 'dev_xxx()' or 'pr_xxx()' should end with a '\n'.
While at it, I've introduced a few pr_cont that looked logical to me.

Currently in the case where eq->src != req->ds, the allocation of
ptr is kfree'd at the end of the code block. However later on in
the case where enc is not null any of the error return paths that
return via the error handling return path end up performing an
erroneous second kfree of ptr.
Fix this by adding an error exit label error_free and only jump to
this when ptr needs kfree'ing thus avoiding the double free issue.
